Watch Patrick Staff's The Foundation on Vdrome

Patrick Staff's film The Foundation (exhibited at Spike Island in 2015) is currently screening online at Vdrome, a channel dedicated to films and videos directed by visual artists and filmmakers whose production lies in-between contemporary art and cinema.

The Foundation explores queer intergenerational relationships negotiated through historical materials, combining footage shot at the Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles — home to the archive of the erotic artist and gay icon and a community of people that care for it — with choreographic sequences shot within a specially constructed set.
